What is the QIS protocol ?

Quadratic Intelligence Swarm routes anonymized health outcome packets peer-to-peer using semantic addresses like SNOMED codes—no central broker needed.

Will QIS work with EHDS Secure Processing Environments?

Yes—nodes distill SPE analyses into packets that stay jurisdictional, enabling cross-border intelligence without data exports.

When will Europe adopt brokerless health data routing?

Pilots possible by 2027 if regulators greenlight; inertia suggests 2028+ for EHDS integration.
